“I had a blast and gained 20 kilos in two years” the singer said about the eating disorders he faced
About the eating disorders he had and how his sleep affected him in all of this, Isaias Matiamba spoke on the show “All about our lives”.
“I am a person who used to sleep 3-4 hours a day. The times I slept were usually 04:00 to 7:00, 8:00. Some days I didn’t sleep at all, so it’s impossible not to be affected by this, as well as my body. All day I was ok and when the night came, after 12, until I went to sleep I consumed too much food and there was a problem. Especially in the last 2 years I presented serious issues, I could see myself and I couldn’t believe it, because I was already waking up with a tendency to vomit, from reflux. A brake should have been put in, but it wasn’t,” he said initially.
Isaiah Matiaba then added: “I tried during this time several times to convince myself to start the effort, I would start, but then I would give up. I had a blast and gained 20 pounds in two years. Overwork came and I “heard” it, so I entered another pattern and other data, to see what was wrong. Sleep was the alpha and the omega, so I slowly started to build sleep and through that, I started to find that being on track, it improves a lot.”
